The first three years of my Blog follow my journey settling in to life following my move to Colombia in 2012.
After yet another a break from Blogging, I am back, but with a change of emphasis, due to health problems, I have been spending less and less time in the workshop, so decided I either had to close the Blog, or revert to it's original use...a diary! So thats what I am doing, it feels good to be back.

Knackered!

I went back to Homecenter in Bello, and then just about every Ironmongers / Ferretería, and any other store in the north of the town, that might have stocked steel spacers

of this size, or steel, copper, or aluminium tube 3/8" or 10mm interior, but failed on all counts, there are times when I really despair at the lack of modern products stocked in Colombia, it is possible that they are stocked somewhere in Medellin city, but I have neither the time nor inclination to lose yet another two inches in height! For the time being, I will just use hardwood, and replace the part as the holes get destroyed by the bit, and place an order online to import a stock.

That took up the whole of my morning, so I'm calling it a wasted day, and putting my feet up.
